It's cold out, perfect time for soup and some homemade dumplings! So many folks complain I don't share my recipes...so I took the time to write this one down!

🥟 Homemade Pork & Shrimp Wonton Soup (Doubled Batch!)

This makes enough to feed a crowd (or for some legendary meal prep)!

🥟 THE DUMPLING FILLING
(Makes ~40-45 dumplings)
* 1 lb Ground Pork (80/20 is best!)
* ½ lb Raw Shrimp (finely minced)
* 3 Scallions (minced)
* 1 tbsp Fresh Ginger & 2 cloves Garlic (grated)
* Seasoning: 2 tbsp Soy Sauce, 1 tbsp Shaoxing Wine, 1 tsp Sesame Oil, ½ tsp White Pepper.
* The Secret: Stir the filling in one direction until it’s "tacky"—it gives you that perfect restaurant-style snap! 🥢

🍲 THE INFUSED GINGER BROTH
* 12 cups Low-sodium Chicken Broth
* 2-inch piece Fresh Ginger (smashed)
* 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
* 3 cups Shiitake Mushrooms (sliced)
* 8 Baby Bok Choy (quartered)
* Finishers: 2 tbsp Soy Sauce + 2 tsp Sesame Oil

✨ HOW TO MAKE IT:
1️⃣ FOLD: Put 1 tbsp of filling in a wrapper, wet the edges, and pleat them shut. (It’s therapeutic, I promise! 🧘‍♀️)
2️⃣ INFUSE: Boil the broth with the smashed ginger and garlic for 10 mins. Let those aromatics work their magic!
3️⃣ SIMMER: Drop the dumplings in gently. Cook for 4 mins.
4️⃣ VEGGIES: Add the mushrooms and bok choy. Simmer 3-4 more mins until the dumplings float and the greens are tender.
5️⃣ SERVE: Remove the ginger slices, top with extra scallions, and maybe a drizzle of chili oil if you’re feeling spicy! 🌶️
